I'm Sorry, It's Me Who Is Not Worthy

Gu Muchen withdrew his gaze and said indifferently, "That was a birthday gift for my mother."

Yu Wanyue immediately felt embarrassed, while Ye Shiyun quickly said, "I haven't even met Auntie yet. I'll prepare a birthday gift for her."

In other words, Ye Shiyun was reminding Gu Muchen that he hadn't taken her to visit his family yet.

Gu Muchen stood up elegantly and adjusted his suit, saying, "I have something to attend to. I won’t disturb you."

Not long after, as soon as Ye Chu walked into the gate of the Ye family, she was stopped by Yang, the housekeeper.

"Ye Chu, Madam is calling for you."

As soon as Ye Chu followed Yang into the house, she felt the unfriendly gaze of Yu Wanyue.

Yu Wanyue looked Ye Chu up and down, surprised that this little girl could dress up so stunningly, even outshining her precious daughter Ye Shiyun, who was sitting next to her.

No wonder so many people were hooked by this little fox!

Ye Xingguo was also stunned. Looking at Ye Chu like this, he thought that if he could use Ye Chu to form an alliance with some conglomerates, the Ye family might be able to climb higher!

"Ye Chu, you have a lot of nerve! Do you know that because you secretly followed Shiyun to the charity auction, Gu Muchen was particularly unhappy!" Yu Wanyue slammed the table and glared at Ye Chu.

"Madam, I didn’t follow Ye... Miss, I just..."

"Enough! I don’t want to hear your explanation. You only have such a small mind, and I know it very well." Yu Wanyue sneered and interrupted Ye Chu’s words. "You just want to be like your slutty mother and climb up in one step! But let me warn you, if you dare to set your sights on Gu Muchen, I’ll have the hospital kick your mother out tomorrow!"

"Don’t think that just because the Ye family took you in, you have a status now. I advise you to put yourself in the right place!"

"Madam, I never thought about that. To put your mind at ease, I will move out of the Ye family as soon as possible, so you don’t have to worry about my intentions towards the Ye family every day." Ye Chu took the opportunity to suggest leaving the Ye family in response to Yu Wanyue’s words.

"Don’t you want to cure your mother’s illness? You begged us to take you and your daughter in, crying and pleading! If you leave, don’t come back with a face like that!" Yu Wanyue wished that He Shuxin and Ye Chu would leave the Ye family as soon as possible.

"Okay..." Ye Chu nodded. "I understand."

"At least you know your place. I thought you would still cling to our Ye family!" Ye Shiyun naturally hoped that Ye Chu would leave as soon as possible so that there would be no chance for her and Gu Muchen to meet.

Back in the small warehouse, Ye Chu changed out of the blue dress she was wearing. She thought about washing the dress and returning it to the owner, Xiao Sheng.

As she was thinking, Ye Chu saw the suit jacket hanging on the side. She then remembered that she had not returned it to Acheng after washing it.

So Ye Chu messaged Acheng, asking when he would be free so that she could return the suit jacket to him.

When Acheng received a message from "Jenny" asking to return the suit jacket from last time, he was a little surprised. He sent the address of the Gu Group to Ye Chu.

Ye Chu had not planned to hide her true identity from Acheng. After all, he had saved her, and she wanted to be honest with him. But when she saw that the address was the Gu Group building, she hesitated.

In the end, she decided to return the suit jacket as "Jenny" just in case.

In the CEO’s office of the Gu Group, Gu Muchen sat on the sofa, looking coldly at a surveillance video that had been brought to him.

"Gu Young Master, on the day of the incident, the surveillance cameras inside the hotel were all turned off because the Du family had planned it in advance. Nothing was recorded."

"I found this video outside the hotel. Although it’s a bit far away, you can still make out that Miss Ye did go to the hotel that day."

Pointing to the location of the hotel entrance, "This is Miss Ye. But this video only proves that she went to the hotel that day. It doesn’t prove that she went to the party with her friends."

Gu Muchen leaned back on the sofa, elegantly crossing his legs, and stared at the blurry image on the screen, asking, "Are there any other clues?"

"There’s one more." The person clicked on another video and pointed to the figure in the video. "An hour after Miss Ye entered the hotel, Ye Chu also came to the hotel."

Staring at the figure on the screen, Gu Muchen unconsciously frowned.

Ye Chu's arrival at the hotel happened to be at the same time he was taking his Chinese medicine.

"What was she doing?" Gu Muchen asked.

"We haven't found out yet because there were no surveillance cameras inside the hotel," Renyi said. "But we found another video that shows Ye Chu leaving the hotel at around five in the morning the next day."

"Five in the morning?" Gu Muchen's eyes deepened.

If he remembered correctly, that was also the time he woke up that day and saw Ye Shiyun. She was dressed neatly, not even a hair out of place.

That was also the reason why he had suspected Ye Shiyun in the first place.

"Let's see the video of her leaving," Gu Muchen gestured for Renyi to open it.

In the video, a small figure quickly ran out of the hotel gate, stumbling and looking very rushed.

"Mr. Gu, that's all we've found so far," Renyi said to Gu Muchen. "But I found out that after that day, a group of hotel staff were fired. If we can find them, maybe we can get some clues from them."

"In addition, someone contacted the media before that day, saying that there would be big news happening, but when the media arrived, they didn’t capture anything. So I reasonably suspect that the big news that person was referring to was probably about you, Mr. Gu."

Gu Muchen's eyes darkened. "Are you saying that the Du family wanted to use this as leverage to make a deal with Gu’s company?" He looked at Renyi.

"The Du family isn’t that stupid. Even if they wanted to threaten us, they wouldn’t use the media."

"Then who contacted the media?" Renyi asked.

"Who would benefit the most from exposing that incident?" Gu Muchen raised his eyebrows at Renyi.

"...Miss Ye?" Renyi immediately understood. "So, Mr. Gu, you’ve been suspecting that the incident that night wasn’t an accident?"

Gu Muchen nodded.

At that moment, there was a knock on the office door. After getting permission, Acheng walked in with a paper bag containing a suit jacket.

"Er Shao, your coat," Acheng said at the door.

"What coat?" Gu Muchen glanced at the paper bag.

"The suit jacket you put on Jenny when you saved her that day," Acheng replied.

Saved Jenny?

Renyi, who had been listening, suddenly looked up at Gu Muchen, his gossip instincts instantly ignited.

"Jenny washed the coat and sent it over today," Acheng added.

Gu Muchen raised his hand to signal Acheng to bring the coat over.

Acheng walked over, placed the paper bag on the sofa, and turned to leave.

As Acheng approached, Gu Muchen’s keen sense of smell suddenly caught a faint fragrance, a familiar scent.

"Wait!" Gu Muchen stopped Acheng.
